Creative Computing,
was an American computer magazine, one of the earliest covering the microcomputer revolution. Published from October 1974 until December 1985, Creative Computing covered the whole spectrum of hobbyist/home/personal computing in a more accessible format than the rather technically oriented BYTE. The magazine was founded by David H. Ahl, who sold it to Ziff-Davis in the early 1980s, but remained as Editor-in-Chief [3]. The Best of Creative Computing with creative cover arts by the underground cartoonists Robert Crumb [4] and Gilbert Shelton [5], edited by David Ahl, was published in three volumes from 1976 to 1980, available from the AtariArchives [6].
